This intimate, naturalistic drama from Rima Das follows Bulbul as she negotiates shame and tragedy, and emerges the other side with a newfound strength.

Bulbul Can Sing presents a string of moments that take place in a perpetually vanishing present. By following the course of Bulbul’s journey, the audience may experience a story that’s lasting and meaningful.

There is no shortage of visual poetry or richly observed local detail, and Das's ability to effortlessly capture the rhythms of pastoral life is never in doubt.

"A river must be herself," someone says and yet the adults here want to channel their children in into their own image - at almost any cost.

This movie broke my heart into a million pieces. It is beautiful and sweet and tragic. The performances are genuine and subtly powerful. I have no words to describe the emotions I felt watching this; its only flaws are the somewhat meandering pace before a quick turn in the second half.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Heartfelt and honest. Story about friendship, loss, love and oppression painted in beautiful twilights and lush green farms. Bulbul can sing is poignant yet non exploitative and sincere.
